Specified value: Battery voltage.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- Check the wiring connection from the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay -J299- socket 2/87 to the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor -V101- electrical harness connector terminal 2 for an open circuit, high resistance, or short circuit to each other, Battery (+) or Ground.

-- Check the wiring connections for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking Ground 

-- Using a multimeter, check the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor -V101- electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Ground connection on left headlamp for resistance.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.

If the specification was Not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, high resistance, short to Battery (+) or Ground.

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was OK:

-- Replace Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor -V101-.

-- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures 

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

  1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
